My roommate is now on LJ.
I'll refrain from pointing him out for fear that some here would harass him. Not that you don't have a right to, nessisarily, I would just rather discourage it.

I swear, though, if he harasses me, I'll slay the bastard. Don't get me wrong, he can be a really decent guy,
but I'm taking quite a risk here, just by letting him know where my journal is.

You guys I can trust - even the random journals who I've decided to Lurk on I can trust. I'm afraid that giving him access to my inner thoughts could be like allowing the Neevil into Narnia. I'm very open here, as I should hope you've noticed. I'm lucky there have been no hostile forces yet come.

I'm debating whether I should really list him as a Friend. That opens up even more, and would require a bit more thought.

Ooh. Brave boy.

Umm...whether or not to add him as a Friend is a tough question. I don't think I would add him if I were in your situation because if I did, I would have to start using my Friend Filters more often than I already do. I know you prefer to be as open as you can be, and I don't want to see you having to shelter your LJ from him because of the kind of person he is.

It's really a question of how open with him you want to be, though. And then there's the other question of, would he really care whether or not you added him as a Friend? Do you think it would hurt him if you didn't, or would he just be like, "oh, well, he's just my roomie - whatever"?

personally, i wouldn't list him as a friend. it would, in all honesty, probably cause more trouble than it was worth to you. this is your JOURNAL. you should keep it for you and people you trust and who, above all, trust/like you back as a person, ne?

The last point, that he doesn't like/trust me can be disputed. That doesn't mean I nessisarily trust him enough to open my soul so much. And it's not so much that he's untrustwirthy - I mean, obviously I think he is, but not because he's devious, but because he's...immature. He's immature, egocentric, ignorant (though I don't mean stupid)... He's emotional himself, but doesn't seem to understand the feelings of others. He irritates me many times in a week, and I suppose it's because he's selfish in the most pure form I've ever seen - not because he means others harm, but because his own good is all that ever occurs to him. And it irritates me. It irritates me because, in the great majority, it's the antithesis of all that I hold as standards, you know?
I donno...

Poor Andrew. It's hard enough just having to deal with a person in your life who strikes you as the polar opposite of everything you stand for, but having to live with them, cohabitate with them... ::shudders:: Yeah, I'm very lucky that I found Beth.
